Probably a dumb question but can you use a complete 350Z strut in place of a V35 coupe set up?

Reason I ask is that I have a 2003 350GT on its way from Japan with TEIN adjustable suspension, and I need a standard set for registration and I know someone with a Z.

Since we are on the suspension subject....

I have standard suspension in mine and would like to lower it a little, not too much, I also plan to put 19" rims on as well.

Could anyone tell me what they recommend, and what have others done to their coupes. Like I was thinking either getting lower springs or putting in a whole new suspension, say from a 350Z?

I don't want it to be ridiculus to drive after.

Cheers!

I'm recommended to get tokico shocks with tein springs. I have these setup on my car and ride very smooth with 19's.

btw, I may sell my current 19's racing hart, pm me if you are interested :huh:

If you don't track the car, I've heard that the Eibach progressive-rate springs are an excellent compromise spring for street use.

I used to use Koni Sport dampers and I loved them. I know a guy in Melbourne that was similarly fond of his Tokico dampers / Tanabe springs so you probably can't go wrong with either setup.

Do the 350z springs apply to the sedans as well?

Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure they do, but I would check G35Driver.com to be safe.

Also remember that as the 350Z springs are lower, you may end up with camber issues if you put aftermarket 350z springs on your V35. Just depends on how low they are.

350z spring gives just a bit lower, nothing relate to camber!

I have tein s-tech spring which give an aggressive drop with rear offset 25 19x10, but no camber issue!

Could you post pics please, would like to see how much of a drop...is urs sedan or coupe?

S-tech springs will fit the sedan.

Perfect! Thanks for all the pointers - really great :thumbsup:

If I pick up the s-tech's - whats your take on shockers? I see that Spikey used tokico on his coupe...

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
